The Metrodome made the news recently and not just as the Home Sweet Dome for the Minnesota Twins baseball team.
The Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, who manage the Metrodome Minneapolis, have been looking over financial numbers that show the Dome will lose an average of $2 million a year once the Twins and the Gophers have left the Metrodome for their new stadiums.
That’s a startling statistic and the MSFC is scrambling for ways to keep the Metrodome alive including cutting expenses, attracting new events and keeping the Minnesota Vikings.
"Nothing pays the freight like the Vikings," the MSFC said. "You take that out and the Dome's no longer viable."
I smell another push at building a new Vikings stadium on the Metrodome site!

I love the metrodome but i will be glad when we get to sit in the new outside!!!
I can not imagine the twin cities without the Dome, that would be like winter without snow or summer without bugs... totally un-Minnesota :(
Hannah, I agree it will be tough to let go of the famed white roofed icon that we call the Metrodome.
